Smartphone co-branding collaborations aren’t new, but a special edition phone with a beverage brand is not something we see very often.
Realme has partnered with the globally recognized brand, Coca-Cola, and the result is worth checking out. Realme has launched the Realme 10 Pro 5G Coca-Cola Edition.
This special edition smartphone has the same internals as the standard Realme 10 Pro 5G but features a custom paint job and software centered around the Coca-Cola theme.
Realme 10 Pro 5G Coca-Cola Edition: Design
The design of this Coca-Cola themed Realme phone will definitely turn heads. The Coca-Cola edition of the Realme 10 Pro 5G has a matter black frame, similar to that of the ‘Dark Matter’ color standard Realme 10 Pro 5G.
The back panel is where things have really changed. It is now dual-toned, with a cropped Coca-Cola logo in silver with a red background on one side, and the familiar Realme logo on the other.
The chrome rings around the camera lenses are also red for this edition.
For the UI, Realme has created a bunch of custom icons and wallpapers to go with the Coca-Cola theme, and this makes for an interesting change from the standard edition.
